I think that this could be done, to have an haskell GUI library instead 
of a wxwindows binding, wich would be just an implementation. And this 
decision makes a fast startup because Daan is already trying this.

Well, this should be done anyway, but maybe not here.

Am I unsubscribed to this list, or people do not want to comment on 
anymore? The main problem of wxwin was, according to (if I remember 
well) Wolfgang Thaller, that it does not feel native on OSX; so I guess 
the opinion of some OSX user or developer would be interesting now.
